Aah, just letting off steam..

Seems like a futuristic surveillance/monitoring repression drone. No protections around the propellers.

For the moment, I'd rather try something like the Vusion 250 Extreme FPV Race Pack, for example.

Or a flying car like the AeroMobil, for instance.

'Passenger Drones" sounds like a good name for the next Angular type JS framework.

If it does not take off then why not?  However if it does, I do not even want to be nearby... I do NOT trust software as I've already seen some in operation

As long as Tracy Deadbugger is not installed. Or any of my modules.

But at least Tracy would give you a chance to debug and test your code changes on-the-fly  and maybe save yourself from becoming a dead bugger!

PS - I am not sure how well "bugger" translates to those here from non English colonies  For those looking for this, this is the definition you want: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bugger&defid=1454790 and definitely not this one: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bugger&defid=734856
